Hands-on models of pollen make you feel microscopic details. A family tree leads back to the origin of flowering plants. Oversized flower models allow an insect's perspective. Building instructions for insect nesting aids explain how to support native pollinators. A themed trail through the Botanical Garden leads to the living beauty and diversity of flowering plants.
